Hey there! I'm Mo, the madwoman behind the minis.

When I was a just a wee Mo, my parents built me a dollhouse version of the cozy tree home of Miss Suzy, my favorite storybook squirrel. It had teeny tiny furniture, hardwood floors, and a little kitchen. I was OBSESSED.

It wasn’t long before I decided to tap into the miniatures market myself, and in grade school I spent a great deal of time trying to persuade my classmates to buy my animal figurines when I should have been paying attention to the math lesson.

The animals had tiny little zippers running up their fat tummies, and in a spurt of third grade imagination untethered by the chains of traditional spelling, I dubbed them Zippirs. Sadly, Zippirs failed to become the lucrative animal figurine empire I had envisioned, but luckily, my miniatures obsession has since found a new home, the Mouse Market.

Today, I combine my unhealthy fanaticism, er, love of miniatures with my training as a pastry chef and a graphic designer to create detailed, realistic foods in 1/12 and 1/6 scale. Perhaps one day, when the public is truly ready, I'll reintroduce the Zippirs. In the meantime, though, I hope you enjoy my minis as much as I enjoy making them. Thanks for stopping by!
